I see. I went back to check my email archive. I have found two
instances of debian-devel posts that did CC my @debian.org email
address (I am also subscribed to debian devel via @debian.org). I only
have one email. It is sorted correctly. I am still trying to decipher
how come I don't have this problem.
But in general with CC's to the mailing lists, both To: & Cc: headers
have debian-devel & yourself in both messages and List-Id only in one
of them. So surely you can filter one copy to /dev/null as
appropriate?!
BCC: is the evil one, cause then you have to look at Delivered-To.

Dmitrijs.
